Accident Description: https://www.instagram.com/p/CqxrP0QOZ... Photos Archive: https://x.com/aircrashdaily/status/16... 𝗕𝗢𝗔𝗖 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝟳𝟭𝟮 was a scheduled international passenger flight from London to Sydney with intermediate stops in Zurich, Tel Aviv, Tehran, Bombay and Singapore. The flight was being operated by a Boeing 707 (Reg. G-ARWE) on 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟴, 𝟭𝟵𝟲𝟴. The plane became airborne from Heathrow's runway 28L at 15:27 and 20 seconds later, just before the time for the noise abatement power reduction, the flight crew felt and heard a combined shock and bang. The thrust lever for the No. 2 engine "kicked" towards the closed position and at the same time the instruments showed that the engine was running down. ATC originally offered the pilot-in-command a landing back on runway 28L and alerted the fire services but after a "Mayday" call at 15:29 Flight 712 was offered runway 05R which was accepted as it would result in a shorter flight path. About 1½ minutes after the start of the fire, No. 2 engine, together with part of its pylon, became detached and fell into a waterfilled gravel pit. The approach to runway 05R was made from a difficult position, the plane being close to the runway and having reached a height of about 3,000 feet and a speed of 225 knots. There is no glide slope guidance to this runway but the approach was well judged and touchdown was achieved approximately 400 yards beyond the threshold. The plane came to a stop just to the left of the runway centre line, about 1,800 yards from the threshold. 122 occupants escaped the plane, 35 people were injured and 5 people were killed.
